Weighted average shares outstanding - assuming dilution	1,454.1	1,536.3

Weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of 59 million stock options for the first quarter of 2012 and 55 million for the first quarter of 2011, due to the exercise prices of these stock options being greater than the average fair market value of our common stock during the period.

We issued approximately eight million shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2012 and seven million shares in the first quarter of 2011, following the exercise or vesting of underlying stock options or deferred stock units, or purchase under our employee stock purchase plans. During the first quarter of 2012, we repurchased 23 million shares of our common stock for approximately $140 million, pursuant to the share repurchase program authorized in 2011, discussed in Note L – Stockholders' Equity to our audited financial statements contained in Item 8 of our 2011 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
